Our Mission
Bright Water provides an excellent and equitable Montessori education in North Minneapolis to an intentionally diverse community of students..
Our Vision
Our students will develop the character strengths, social and emotional skills, creativity, passion for learning and college-preparatory academic capabilities that will enable them to lead lives of joy and purpose.
Our Values
- Education for Life: We use the Montessori method to expose our children to the beauty of their world and spark their passion for learning about it and making it better. We prepare our learning environments to foster intrinsic motivation, student leadership, independence, community, critical thinking and mindfulness.
- Diversity, Equity and Inclusiveness: We value diversity of perspective, background and experience, because exposure to difference accelerates the learning and development of each of us and prepares students for citizenship in our multicultural society. We work to ensure that our community is open, accessible, and welcoming to all. We actively fight against institutional and structural racism, sexism and economic inequality to ensure the greatest opportunities and results for all of our students.
- High Expectations, Data-Driven and Continuously Improving: We believe that college-preparatory academic work is for all children, and we take responsibility for helping our students fulfill their potential. We record and use our observations and data from assessments to help us determine what is working and what is not, and we do what it takes to get better every day.
- Interconnectedness: We exist in a great web of connection with each other, with the community that surrounds us and with all living things. We develop our students' respect for themselves and their relationships with other people and with the natural world, so that they will relish and protect our global community and our environment, now and in the future.
- Family-School Partnership: We provide a school-based education that complements the foundational learning environment that families create at home. We understand that families have high expectations for the work we do with their children and we take responsibility for honoring their choice and trust. We build real relationships with families, communicate openly and honestly with them, and we work to make it easy for them to communicate with us.

1. My hair falls out in clumps (yuck)
2. My face breaks out
3. I crave junk food
4. I don't sleep well
It always sneaks up on me and I don't realize how stressed I am until I'm munching on french fries at 11: 30 pm and I feel like I've gained 18 lbs. With the exception of tomorrow, I'm still keeping up with my scheduled workouts with my trainer. Its times like these that help me realize that I can't do it on my own. If it were up to me I would never hit the gym during stressful times. I know that seems counter-productive since working out relieves stress but I swear all I want to do is sleep, eat, repeat.
How do you guys deal with stress?
This video made me laugh...and laughing relieves stress!

Re: James Adams, b ca 1803, KY
William Adams 8/19/00
Alexander Adams was born 1776 and married Isabelle Miller. He could have married again but if Elizabeth born 1809 there would be a vast age difference. Not impossible but unlikely
This is one where I have two totally different wives for John Adams, son of Matthew and I am confused. One source that has proved reliable shows him married to Rhoda Martin who is a widow in the 1850 Searcy County census. However James Tims who is apparently a descendant of John says he married Elizabeth Cayce and they are in Izard County. This clearly needs more research. Contact me privately and I will give you James E-Mail address. Please let me know if you are able to clear up this puzzle. I would like to set my records straight.

My October reading is introduced to you by The Assistant!
- Takako Shimura "Wandering Son" vol.5 [Japan]
- Roxane Gay "Bad Feminist" [USA]
- Shamini Flint "A Deadly Cambodian Crime Spree" [Malaysia, Singapore]
- Agatha Christie "Death on the Nile" [UK]
- Rebecca Solnit "Men Explain Things to Me" [USA]
Wandering Son vol.5
I find it hard to review manga volumes separately instead of the story as a whole, and on top of that Wandering Son is a slice-of-life manga, unfolding gently and without much action or twists, so I'll just say that it continues being charming as usual and I will definitely read more volumes.
In which Mako-chan wins my heart. : 3
Bad Feminist
"In these funny and insightful essays, Roxane Gay takes us through the journey of her evolution as a woman of color while also taking readers on a ride through culture of the last few years and commenting on the state of feminism today. The portrait that emerges is not only one of an incredibly insightful woman continually growing to understand herself and our society, but also one of our culture.
Bad Feminist is a sharp, funny, and spot-on look at the ways in which the culture we consume becomes who we are, and an inspiring call-to-arms of all the ways we still need to do better."
Underwhelming. Too much of stream-of-consciousness, ableist words and pop culture names I never heard of. Some essays I did enjoy, though. Just not as many as I expected to.
A Deadly Cambodian Crime Spree (Inspector Singh Investigates #4)
"Inspector Singh is in Cambodia - wishing he wasn't. He's been sent as an observer to the international war crimes tribunal in Phnom Penh, the latest effort by his superiors to ensure that he is anywhere except in Singapore.
But for the first time the fat Sikh inspector is on the verge of losing his appetite when a key member of the tribunal is murdered in cold blood. The authorities are determined to write off the incident as a random act of violence, but Singh thinks otherwise. It isn't long before he finds himself caught up in one of the most terrible murder investigations he's witnessed - the roots of which lie in the dark depths of the Cambodian killing fields..."
I'm trying to read books from as many countries as possible, and most crime and mystery novels I've read were Russian and British. So when I heard of the Inspector Singh Investigates series, I knew I had to read it! Shamini Flint is from Malaysia and currently lives in Singapore. Each book in the series is set in a new country. The library didn't have books #1-3, so I started with #4, A Deadly Cambodian Crime Spree. Although Inspector Singh can be quite arrogant sometimes, I liked reading about him. Other characters were interesting too! This is a dark book, dealing with Cambodia's horrific past, but I never felt that the shocking scenes there were gratuitous. They felt true to the story, honestly portrayed and needed. I plan to continue reading the series!
Death on the Nile (Hercule Poirot #17)
"Death on the Nile is a pre-Second World War novel, first published in 1937. It shows Agatha Christie's interest in Egypt and archaeology and also reflects much of the flavour and social nuances of the pre-war period. Although the novel is set in Egypt, an exotic location, it is essentially a 'locked room mystery', as the characters are passengers on the river-steamer SS Karnak, cruising on the Nile. Amongst them is the famous Hercule Poirot, a short man dressed in a white silk suit, a panama hat and carrying a highly ornamental fly whisk with a sham amber handle – a funny little man."
One more arrogant detective I read about in October. Wow, Hercule Poirot can be quite a jerk sometimes. =D Luckily there were many other characters offsetting his less pleasant qualities. The story is set in Egypt, but you won't learn much about Egypt itself. It's all very British. I enjoyed the story anyway, it was full of twists and gunshots and lies!
There was one really self-absorbed character, however…
"How lovely the sun is," thought Linnet. "How warm—how safe… How lovely it is to be happy… How lovely to be me—me—me—Linnet—"
Men Explain Things to Me
"In her comic, scathing essay "Men Explain Things to Me," Rebecca Solnit took on what often goes wrong in conversations between men and women. She wrote about men who wrongly assume they know things and wrongly assume women don't, about why this arises, and how this aspect of the gender wars works, airing some of her own hilariously awful encounters.
She ends on a serious note— because the ultimate problem is the silencing of women who have something to say, including those saying things like, "He's trying to kill me!"
This book features that now-classic essay with six perfect complements, including an examination of the great feminist writer Virginia Woolf 's embrace of mystery, of not knowing, of doubt and ambiguity, a highly original inquiry into marriage equality, and a terrifying survey of the scope of contemporary violence against women."
The titular essay is my favourite, you can read it online here. I didn't love every essay, but it's a really short book, so that was quite all right.

A pair of petitions calling for the release of Steven Avery, subject of Netflix's new true crime series Making a Murderer, from prison have garnered nearly 200,000 signatures from fans who believe the man was wrongly convicted of murder.
Making a Murderer follows the criminal cases of Avery, who was convicted in 2005 of sexually assaulting and murdering photographer Teresa Halbach and sentenced to life in prison. Avery had previously served 18 years in prison after being convicted in a separate sexual assault case, but was released in 2003 when DNA evidence found he didn't commit the crime. The series explores how the circumstances of Avery's earlier arrest and false conviction may have played a role in his later murder conviction.
As a result of the documentary series, fans have petitioned President Obama to grant Avery and his nephew Brendan Dassey, who was separately convicted of helping his uncle kill Halbach, a pardon.
"Avery's unconstitutional mistreatment at the hands of corrupt local law enforcement is completely unacceptable and is an abomination of due process," a Change.org petition addressed to Obama reads. "Steven Avery should be exonerated at once by presidential pardon, and the Manitowoc County [Wisconsin] officials complicit in his two false imprisonments should be held accountable to the highest extent of the U.S. criminal and civil justice systems."
The petition had gathered more than 170,000 signatures as of Monday morning.
Another petition hosted at the official White House website had gathered nearly 20,000 signatures by Monday.
"Based on the evidence in the Netflix documentary series Making a Murderer, the justice system embarrassingly failed both men, completely ruining their entire lives," reads the White House petition. "This is a black mark on the justice system as a whole, and should be recognized as such, while also giving these men the ability to live as normal a life as possible."
The White House will be forced to issue an official response to the petition if it reaches 100,000 signatures.
Maitowoc County Sheriff Robert Hermann defended the area's law enforcement community and said Making a Murderer did not get all of the facts right.
"A documentary puts things in chronological order and tells the story as it is. … I've heard things are skewed," Hermann told USA Today. "They've taken things out of context and taken them out of the order in which they occurred, which can lead people to a different opinion or conclusion."
Hermann also said Avery's 2005 arrest was not in any way influenced by his 2003 conviction, as the show apparently tries to impress upon viewers. Avery had reportedly been attempting to sue the county for $36 million over his wrongful conviction when he was re-arrested in 2005.
"Show me the evidence he was framed. There is not going to be any. It didn't happen," Hermann added. "I don't know why anybody in law enforcement would want to get him, that makes no sense."
Netflix's Making a Murderer premiered December 18. All 10 episodes are available for streaming now.

ITHAQUA – The Black Mass Sabbath Pulse 7"
Following on from last year's cult Initiation to Obscure Mysteries demo – so widely celebrated, in fact, that IRON BONEHEAD PRODUCTIONS reissued it on 12″ vinyl – Greece's ITHAQUA present a brand-new two-song 7″ EP, The Black Mass Sabbath Pulse. Set to be released on Walpurgis Night by IRON BONEHEAD, The Black Mass Sabbath Pulse presents an even stronger and more confident vision from this unholy duo. In many ways, the rough-around-the-edges Initiation to Obscure Mysteries could've been a lost demo from the Greek black metal scene circa 1992; by comparison, The Black Mass Sabbath Pulse is the bold and bright step made by legends like Rotting Christ and Varathron when they recorded their respective debut albums. The same rudiments remain – pulsing, arcane mysticism and epic heavy metal might, now daubed more heavily in mysterious synths – but here, ITHAQUA display a deeply seated understanding of what made early Greek black metal so majestic and are now able to put their own distinct stamp on such. Of the two songs, the A-side title track is indeed a pulse of Black Mass, windswept and infinite, thoroughly hypnotizing in its hammering surge; meanwhile, on the flipside is "Walpurgis, The Flight of Spectral Witches," which is a winding travelogue across magickal autumnal nights, lurking about before taking climactic flight. The growth between ITHAQUA's demo and their first EP is not inconsiderable: the potently occult atmosphere and simple-yet-unforgettable riffery remain, but the band are truly now on the path to greatness with The Black Mass Sabbath Pulse.

"Nurture Yourself Mindfully – Give from the Overflow!" Lee Papa
I look forward to seeing you there!
"Two years ago I found myself completely overwhelmed by a tidal wave of stress. The growing pressures of modern life seemed untenable. I had built a formidable but intense career in the IT industry. I was raising two beautiful young children. And I was also facing a bitter divorce and financial crisis. My efforts to multitask and push through stress had become the norm and my health began to deteriorate. I knew I had to try a different approach – I was getting close to rock bottom!
I was blessed to have an introduction to Lee and enrolled in her 5 Day Full Immersion Mindful Makeovers. Her program helped me push the reset button on my life. Lee's techniques helped me eliminate the mental blocks and limiting patterns that were holding me back from achieving peace. 18 months later and my internal peace continues to radiate outward to my family, community, my career and most importantly it recharges my self love. If you have the opportunity to work with Lee, you will find a new awareness to an abundance of light and grace through practical guidance and methodology.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! This has truly been a life changing experience for me."
Karenna L
"I recently had Lee at my home for a Mindful Makeovers Full Immersion. I needed guidance to continue on my grieving journey. I lost my husband suddenly and unexpectedly and it really knocked my world out of control. After the first year I felt like I was becoming more depressed and unable to move forward in my "new normal " life. Lee was the answer to my prayers and needs! She showed me how to move up the emotional guidance scale. She implemented the tools and gave me the ability to become mindfully aware of my thoughts, actions and the world around me. Start by loving yourself and leave the negative behind. I could keep going on and on because this has been a huge change in my way of thinking and doing. I can now focus on the good memories of my husband and know he would want me to be totally happy!"

One fall, the channel to the lake had been dredged. Sediment was unwisely dumped on the bank near the neighborhood boat launch. Using this dumped sediment, the beavers built their lodge into the bank of the channel. Not being a part of the human land-development plan, people wanted the beavers removed. This involved the setting of traps. The traps would break the back of the beaver as they swam into it. The beaver, only able to remain submerged for 15 minutes at the most, would drown. Though this was considered (by humans) to be "humane", intervention from local residents (lead by us) halted the trapping. As soon as spring weather thawed the water of the channel, the beavers moved into the marsh and adjacent lake. Having no reason to trust, they obviously did not want to live that close to humans.
American Beavers are among the largest of the rodent family. They can be up to 4 feet in length, and weigh up to 90 pounds. Beavers, now considered a "nuisance", were nearly obliterated by early fur trading in this country. Through protection they have steadily increased in number and are again found throughout most of the United States.
To each beaver lodge there is one family: a set of parents and one litter. A male and female beaver mate for life. A litter most commonly consists of 1-8 kits. The kits are born after a four month gestation, usually in May or June, each weighing about one pound. The kits will stay with the parents for about two years. By this time they have learned all of the essentials to survive. The parents will drive them away to make room for a new litter of kits.
During the summer months beavers stay busy building their dams and lodges. Trees harvested by beavers are usually those not used in the lumber trade. They are most often native trees such as poplar, aspen, willow and birch. By fall, the beaver family will have a cache of food and a secure lodge to protect them during the harsh winter months. The lodge is above ground with tunnels underneath, leading to open water. They are able to swim out into the water, while still underneath the frozen surface of the lake. They can take wood or bark from their cache back to their lodge this way, sustaining them throughout the winter.
The summer following the beaver's departure from my neighborhood, I saw a beaver lodge in a remote area of the marsh. The area had looked so desolate until the beaver brought it back to life. They built a small dam and opened up the surrounding waterways. Both frogs and turtles were again seen sharing the water. Mink were occasionally spotted in the surrounding marshland. Suddenly, various fish were plentiful again.
In addition to the usual Blue Heron and geese, I began to see many species of birds that I hadn't seen before. Swans, egret, kingfisher, green heron, meadow lark, wood ducks, merganser, and blue-winged teal all were attracted to the area. I was amazed at the now lush marshland surrounding the beaver lodge. With their activity came a resurgence of native wildlife.
The wildlife had overcome hardships, and found a way to survive together. I felt privileged to be able to see them and experience the wonders of their world. It was so peaceful compared to the surrounding destruction of human land-development.

Keywords: AFM, E coli, inactivation, photocatalytic
Summary:Neither the microbicidal mechanism of TiO2 under visible radiations nor their potential effects in the light intensity have yet been well established. In this paper, the photocatalytic inactivation of bacteria was investigated using E. coli, because it is a well-known bacterial model. First of all, we focused on the effects of the contact of tourmaline-N-doped TiO2 with bacterial cells in the dark on both the bacterial cultivability and the envelope integrity. Then, under visible radiations exposure, we assessed the deleterious effects of tourmaline-N-doped TiO2 on the bacteria's permeability and cultivability. We also monitored ions and carboxylic acids in order to identify chemical by-products released during the inactivation of the bacteria. Furthermore, using TEM and AFM analysis, we correlated damages to E. coli structures with their loss of cultivability. Finally, we studied the damages of chromosomic DNA and RNA at in vivo level with the photocatalytic damages of the microorganisms.

Advantages of Uncontested Divorce Over Contested Divorce
You and your partner may file for divorce because of various reasons. The reason for the separation may be differing priorities, financial disagreements, or even downright domestic violence and spousal rape. Whatever the reason behind your divorce, it doesn't change the fact that the legal process can be very complicated.
But there is a kind of divorce that is less difficult to handle, and it is called uncontested divorce. An uncontested divorce is a divorce wherein the spouses involved have no disputes, and it has significant advantages over contested divorce, also known as a divorce wherein there are disputes, particularly in terms of alimony, child custody and support, and property division.
Less prone to errors
Uncontested divorce typically means that the spouses have already come into agreement on possible dispute areas, such as supportive obligations and assets and liabilities distributions. Since everything is already agreed upon, the legal process will be less likely to have errors, and therefore faster compared to contested divorce.
Contested divorce may take much longer, because the spouses are likely to fight for their best interests, so they won't give in and make the legal process time-consuming.
Less financial costs
According to the website of Marshall & Taylor PLLC, divorce can also be a financially straining process. This is understandable, because after all, attorneys and family courts are not free. Because uncontested divorce is less prone to errors and more likely to be faster compared to contested divorce, it may translate into less legal expenses.
Your financial standing doesn't matter. Whether you are high or low in the economic ladder, a less expensive divorce process is always more appealing. In fact, the website of this Lewisville divorce attorney even says that 90% of all divorces are uncontested.
Less emotional strain
It is not always about the legal aspect, because divorce can also be emotionally taxing. In contested divorce, there will be arguments, and this may result into more hard feelings between the spouses, more violent separation processes, and worse, more impactful parental separation for the children involved. Uncontested divorce involves less emotional strain because of its relatively passive approach.
Jet Ski Safety Tips
We go the water to have some fun and escape from the real world, where there are responsibilities we should think about. Getting injured while on vacation is probably one of the worst things that could happen to you, as your time for recreation and unwinding becomes a time for medical bills.
In a sense, we still have responsibilities even when we are on vacation, and one of those responsibilities is making sure that we are doing safe practices in operating our personal watercraft, like jet skis.
Always wear the appropriate gear
Accidents may happen whether it is your fault or not, and your first line of defense when they do happen is your protective gear, such as your helmet and lifejacket. Your helmet can protect you against head injuries that you can get from crashing your head into hard surfaces and getting hit by flying debris. Your lifejacket can be the very thing that saves you from drowning.
Be aware of other people
Though it is true that the sea offers a wide space, it does not mean that you are safe from personal watercraft traffic. Be mindful of the other watercraft around you, such as boats and other jet skis, and other people that you may not notice, such as swimmers and divers. Not being aware of the position of others can potentially lead to collisions and injuries.
Don't drink and ride
Alcohol, drugs, and other substances that may cause impairment are very dangerous even on watercraft operation. They limit your body coordination, comprehension skills, and sensory and motor functions. Losing at least one of these things can lead to accidents.
Look out for obstructions
Obstructions can be natural or artificial. Natural obstructions include rocks and corals, while artificial obstructions include buoys and watercraft. You can injure yourself because of the collision force and debris, eject yourself from your jet ski and drown, or both.
Check the weather conditions
Sometimes, safe jet ski riding is not about the manner you operate your jet ski, but about the weather and how it affects the water. You should give attention to winds and high waves, as they have the capability to eject you or roll you and your jet ski over.

The Dangers of Boating Under the Influence (BUI)
Roads and highways are not the only places where alcohol puts people in danger. Accidents occurring on waters, though with much lesser results of injuries and deaths, are also major concerns for authorities, specifically to the U.S. Coast Guard. Water accidents involve not only big ships and cruise liners which meet tragic accidents in international seas; many more occur near shores, in rivers or inside territorial waters and these involve yachts, motor boats, sailboats, kayaks, canoes, and other water vessels, including those used for sporting activities, like jet skis.
Alcohol, sad to say, is the leading cause of fatal boating accidents. Boating while impaired or boating under the influence (BUI), according to the Boating Safety Resource Center, the U.S. Coast Guard's Boating Safety Division's official website, is just as deadly as drunk-driving. Drinking, as a matter of fact, will impair a boat operator even faster than a car driver and that 1/3 of all recreational boating accidents are due to alcohol impairment. Because of the dangers brought about by BUI, those who violate US laws regarding this will suffer jail terms, huge fines and revocation of operator privileges.
The federal BUI law enforced by the United States Coast Guard applies to all types of boats, including the largest ships, rowboats and canoes; it also includes foreign vessels sailing through US territories and US ships on the high seas.
The threatening effects of alcohol when it is consumed while on sea include:
- Deterioration of judgment and cognitive abilities, rendering wise assessment of situations, processing of information and making good choices, much harder;
- Impairment in physical control, resulting in failure to make timely reaction to dangers, lack of coordination and problem in balance;
- Decrease in peripheral or night vision and depth perception, difficulty in identifying colors, especially green and red; and,
- Failure to pull self out of the cold water, causing hypothermia and death.
Drinking alcohol or liquor, while on sea, can affect a boat operator's balance, coordination, vision and judgment, much faster than when alcohol is consumed on land. This is due to the overall marine environment, where the boat's operator and passengers experience the sun, wind, sea water mist or spray, engine noise, vibration and motion. Thus, due to alcohol, capsizing boats and drunken passengers falling overboard have been common causes death of fatal accidents for boat passengers and operators alike.
According to the Clawson Staubes, LLC: Injury Group, boat operators are obliged to observe different laws on the water, including not operating their vessel while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Failure to observe these rules can result not only to fines and possible imprisonment, but to suspension of their privilege to operate their vessel as well.
Nursing Home Care: Criteria for Medicare Benefits
Based on a study by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, majority of US senior citizens aged 65 and above will require some type of long-term care services, while more than 40 percent of those aged at least 55 will require some period of care in a nursing home facility.
Moving an older family member into a nursing home facility becomes necessary when a person reaches a certain age or following hospitalization, since the family members are hindered by work or other concerns from giving their loved one all the care and attention that he or she needs. In a nursing home, also known as a skilled nursing home care facility, people who need full time care (especially medical care) and assistance will be provided with significant support in all daily activities (including eating, bathing, dressing and toileting) and round-the-clock nursing care. To provide these needs, besides trained staff, nursing homes also have nurses on 24-hour duty, a licensed physician and other medical professionals, like a physical therapist.
A nursing home is designed to provide older adults the highest level of custodial care outside of a hospital. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as of February of 2015, about 1.4 million older adults received this type of care in 15,700 various nursing homes all across the US. The national median cost of a semi-private room in a nursing home facility is about $222 per day, while the median rate for a private room is approximately $248 per day (geographic location is one of the factors that greatly affect nursing home cost).
If the length of care required by the adult is only on a short-term basis (100 days or less), then he or she may qualify for Medicare benefits, so long as he or she:
- Is at least 65 years old or has been diagnosed with renal failure
- Is currently receiving Medicare Part A benefits (Hospital insurance)
- Has been hospitalized for three or more consecutive days within the past 30 days
- Has been determined by a physician as needing skilled care and/or rehabilitation (in a Medicare-certified facility).
Qualified seniors can enjoy 100% coverage from Medicare for the first 20 days of stay; from the twenty-first day onwards, the patient will have to pay about $130 per day. Patient contribution may come from his or her own savings or from long-term care insurance, if the patient has one.
Hazardous Road Conditions
Car accidents are unfortunately a standard event across the USA. As found from the Census Bureau, about 10.8 million auto injuries were noted in the year 2009 alone. In most of the cases, as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration points out, around three-fourths are due to traffic violations and driver's mistakes. Another frequent factor adding to these amounts are hazardous road conditions due to highway problems and poorly-preserved streets.
Other dangerous highway conditions and highway defects can place drivers in plenty of risky scenarios which could lead to severe mishaps. In such accidents, the driver could also face the possibility of severe harm that will certainly cause disastrous effects on their individual lives. According to the website of the Sampson Law Firm, common freeway defects include potholes, uneven pavements, lack of important traffic signs, and deficiency of guardrails along the border of the road. Additional frequent highway hazards include shoulder drop-offs, water pooling.
Such freeway problems and hazards can simply be avoided with proper street maintenance. The local government is kept held accountable for such responsibilities and is accountable for making sure that the roads fulfill with safety methods. In instances of accidents caused by street conditions that are hazardous, the government is typically clear of any liability so long as they follow building strategies that are approved. Therefore, they could be exempt from paying victims their compensation that is earned.
Casualty victims have the legal choice to seek reparation for harms caused by injuries from freeway accidents out. As victims point out, serious effects can be really left by injuries from vehicle accidents on an individual's life. If you are in an accident brought on by dangerous road conditions and also other highway hazards, you might be able to hold your local government responsible for the accident.
The Connection between Morcellators and Endometrial Cancer
Morcellators are known in the medical field as a new, innovative surgical instrument used in laparoscopic procedures. A morcellator is a small, cylindrical tube that is inserted to the body, through a small incision, and using the attached sharp claw, latches on to noncancerous growths and takes it out through suction. It is small enough that it can reach and get out every last bit of the growth within the affected part of the body and the attached camera allows for the surgeon to get a closer look at the specimen.
People are more likely to be charmed by the prospect of a laparoscopic surgical procedure, morcellation devices included. After all, there is minimal scarring and discomfort that follows such a procedure and it allows for a faster recovery time, which means less time at the hospital. Overall, if it's an option, it seems the most ideal. However, there are some risks associated with certain procedures and devices – morcellators are not exempt from this rule.
In 2014, for example, Johnson & Johnson issued the recall of their three morcellators (namely Gynecare X-Tract, Morcellex Sigma, and Gynecare Morcellex) after there was sufficient evidence coming from claims that use of these morcellation devices has caused for women to develop endometrial cancer. Endometrial cancer is a cancer that develops from the endometrium – otherwise known as the inner lining of the womb. Morcellators were popularly used on women and hysterectomy procedures, where a woman's womb is removed from her body due to health complications.
There are cases being handled by morcellator attorneys everywhere, handling claims of women having their chances of this kind of aggressively malignant cancer as significantly higher due to the use of the aforementioned morcellation devices. Remember to always ask for the full risks of a procedure before consenting to allow it and if you or someone you know has been affected by a morcellator in this way, it is recommended that legal help and representation is sought immediately in order to get the best help and resources possible.
California Home Buyers Get More Protection
Most states require real estate sellers to disclose any information they have about potential or existing problems that a property may have. These include leaks, structural defects, environmental toxins, and natural hazards like flooding if it is available. However, California requires more from sellers.
California has always required under Civil Code Section 1102.6 that prospective buyers are given a Transfer Disclosure Statement, which is a three-page form that a seller has to fill out completely and accurately. It is not a warranty but a statement of fact regarding the current condition of the property. If problems arise later on because of a disclosed condition, the seller will avoid getting sued. However, if the seller knew about the condition but failed to disclose it, he or she could be liable for the damages.
In addition, California law under Civil Code 1002.6c requires the seller to obtain a separate Standardized Natural Disclosure Statement to be given to a prospective buyer. A Natural Hazard Disclosure is not concerned with the condition of the house, but with the potential of the location of the property for natural hazards, specifically flood, fire, and earthquake.
The Statement includes a checklist that a seller fills out based on information from government-provided maps. They cannot speculate or base it on their personal experience, especially given that certain areas of California has been the site for many natural disasters in the last two decades.
The information that a seller must obtain comes from the:
- Federal Emergency Management Agency
- Office of Emergency Services
- California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection
- State Board of Forestry
- California Geological Survey
If you are a seller, you would like to check yes to as few of these hazards as possible, but government information may not be specific enough to determine if your property is indeed in a hazardous area. You can solve this easily by hiring professionals to certify this for you, as well as supply you with other disclosure reports for a minimal fee and available within a few minutes.
The Truth About Personal Injury
The truth of the matter is dealing with the aftermath of an accident is hardly ever easy. The burdens that it can rain down upon your life can transcend far beyond the physical and emotional aspect, though those are more than obvious. According to the website of Houston personal injury lawyers, a traumatizing injury can mean costly medical bills and a drastically different change in livelihood which, in turn, could affect your whole family as well as yourself.
Sometimes, these are incidents that cannot be controlled. Maybe it was a freak tornado or an earthquake, perhaps even a forest fire. These are natural catastrophes with which no one in particular is directly to blame. However, the odds of these circumstances are not quite as high as one might think. Most of the time, extremely traumatic injuries are the result of an offending party – whether they meant to or not.
This claim is called one of personal injury. There are dozens of subsets beneath personal injury claims such as that of car accidents, medical malpractice, wrongful death, et cetera. Each one requires a specialization, due to the fact that there are certain technicalities and subtle intricacies that could shift the claim exponentially. However, whatever your claim may be – you are entitled to compensation for the injury dealt upon you.
If the injury can be proved to have been a direct consequence of willful or ignorant negligence, then you are warranted to file legal charges against the people responsible. Once you have an efficient legal team on your side, you can relax and know that everything is being taken care of for you. Your case can be well represented and you can be ensured that you are only given the very best of care available so that you can go back to as normal a life as possible, following what can only be classified as a truly devastating, unfortunate situation.
Pre-Employment Procedures: Success, Starting from the Ground and Up
Each and every employee under your jurisdiction contributes to the betterment of your company. Think of your brand, of your corporation as a big clock – every employee is every nut, bolt, and cog that is necessary to make the whole thing tick. If even one bit of the machine stops working, the entire thing stills. Can you imagine the Big Ben suddenly going radio silent? In order for such a majestic piece of architecture to be functional and as glorious as it is today, every little bit of that machine was screened and only the best kinds of nuts and bolts were used in its construction in order to receive satisfactory results.
That is why it is imperative that you take care of your employees from the ground up – from the pre-employment status until everything else that follows after.
However, as much as you need to take care of your workers, you also need to make sure that the integrity of your company is not taken advantage of so easily. It is important for there to be an equitable back and forth relationship between the employer and the employee in order to guarantee a safer, respectable name for the company itself. According to the website of the pre-employment screening professionals at WorkSTEPS, sufficient foundation work from the beginning of the employment process can allow for "a safer and more productive workspace".
There can be many benefits to ensuring that you only hire the best employees and having these employees be people who can improve and improve your company all the while. Efficient pre-employment protocols could diminish things like workers' compensation claims, lost time, fraud, and abuse. This also allows for better benefits and an increased productivity from your staff due to the environment of skilled, worthy professionals who are dedicated and driven.
There can be many legal dilemmas that could be avoided if these procedures can be followed and documented effectively, saving you and your company a lot of heartache and stress from potential drama.

Feeding time at the zoo – how to get your critters crunching and munching
It's meal time. You've spent like eleventy billion hours (well, probably just 30 minutes, but it seems like hours) tenderly and lovingly preparing a beautiful feast for your cherub. Carefully selecting nutritious and delicious foods that you know will just hit the spot with the family. You are high-fiving yourself at your masterpiece, it smells divine, and you want to start eating it yourself RIGHT NOW. This one's a winner for sure! Everyone is seated, you bring out your dish, making sure to serve it to your little darling on their favourite plate, with their favourite cup and special, wizz-bang kiddie cutlery that you spent like a million dollars on (well probably just $20, but goddamn that's expensive cutlery for kids), and you wait, in eager anticipation. And you get….
YUCK! What is this?
Ohhhhhh Muuuuuuuum.
I don't like it
NO! I'm not eating it!
You can't make me try it
I hate this plate. I wanted the YELLOW ONE Mum. YELLOW
I don't like this spoon. I not a baby.
And the piece de resistance?
*throws food on the ground*
Cue Mama, slowly pulling her eyelashes out one-by-one. Because that seems less painful than feeding a child.
Feeding little ones can be tough. No one ever mentions in the parent handbook (where IS that handbook, anyways?), that children sometimes don't like eating. And that they can get finicky and picky and have the most bizarre food 'rules'. Things like 'will only eat white food', 'won't eat vegetables that are more than 1cm long', 'freaks out at mushy food consistency'. It can become a cycle of dread. Dreading mealtimes as they approach, dreading the time spent making all this food that never gets eaten, dreading the ensuing arguments about eating, dreading having to beg/bribe/cry/jump up and down attempting to have your child understand that they need to eat for their own wellbeing. Dreading the clean up. Ugggh.
If you have a little darling that is a tad difficult to feed, the first and most important thing to try and remember is breathe. It can be uber frustrating (I too had a very very fussy feeder. In fact she was on the Kate Moss diet of air for quite some time. Not good for Mama's nerves), but just taking a step back, taking a calm breath and keeping it in perspective. They do and will eat eventually, it may not be exactly what you hoped, and it may not be as much as you'd like, but they will get there.
You can only do what you can do. And you're doing a great job! Some tips to try are:
- Don't force the issue. The harder you push, the more adamant they become. And before you know it, mealtimes have collapsed into a battle of wills.
- Ask yourself- what is the function of this behaviour for them? Is it an issue of control? Or is it a genuine fear of some foods? Is it a sensory issue? Sometimes knowing the 'why' behind it all can ease the pain.
- Have a regular mealtime routine. Try to have the same pattern- washing hands, sitting at the table all together. Consistency is key. They'll soon see that this is how mealtimes are done
- So a lot of the experts will say no distractions- so turn the TV off, no music etc. But you know what? With my daughter we needed them. The only way she could relax enough to eat was to have the TV on. And when I think about it, I'm the same. I always need some background noise when I have something I need to do. So think about how you operate, what works for you? What do you think will work for your child? YOU are the expert of your cherub, don't forget that.
- Set a maximum time limit for mealtime. Don't let it drag out for 3 hours. That only serves to cause both you and your child more pain, and usually there's zero gain in doing that. Sometimes it's recommended to keep mealtimes to 30 minutes. I used to allow 45, just because my lass was a slower eater and that time worked for us.
- Offer one thing you know they will definitely eat, and then two to three new items, or things you'd like them to try.
- Try a platter in the middle of the table, with a range of food and tongs so that your child can make a selection of what they would like to eat. Because kids can be fanatical about having control. I think we've all dealt with that at some point, haven't we?
- Try not to 'smuggle' veggies in dishes in place of offering them in their full state. By all means chop up veggies and pop them in your dishes (heck I do this allllll the time), but also offer veggies in their whole form so that the child gets used to what they look like, their texture etc.
- At the dinner table, keep chatter away from a food focus. I.e. reducing the 'eat your dinner now' 'why aren't you eating', 'c'mon please eat' banter. Chat about random, fun things.
- Try making food fun where you can! Having little food 'races', touching and talking about foods, making stories up with foods. Taking any fear away from them.
- Start small. Rather than expecting your child to pick up a new food and eat it straight away, heap praise on them for even touching it, allowing it on their plate, then build up to licking it, nibbling it etc.
- Modelling good food eating yourself. Verbally explaining that you're trying a new food, and what you enjoy about foods etc.
- Get your child involved. Have them set their placemat, cutlery etc out. If they haven't eaten in the requisite time, get them to scrape their uneaten scraps in the bin.
- Once you're (and they're!) done, have a signal to mark the end of mealtime. Washing hands again. Pushing chairs in at the table. Putting placemats away.
I think ultimately it's important to remember there's no hard and fast rules here. Trial and error. Some things might work, and some things might not. Throwing a good children's multivitamin in the mix for a bit until you feel confident they are eating a full range of foods can also ease parental stress. And if you've tried all and sundry and are still not getting any traction, it might be a good idea to chat to your GP or Child Health Nurse and they can point you in the right direction. There are some great feeding programs on offer to provide support.
So, keep your eyelashes in. Because the pain will ease. And you might look a bit odd without eyelashes. Try some of these things, and give yourself a high five for doing your best.

No matter how many commercial gigs I am a part of, I feel that I will always photograph families. After shooting weddings for almost 10 years, I have a soft spot in my heart for family portraits. Portrait packages begin at $399.

text: The valley of Kashmir is known all over the world for its beauty and charm. Set like a jeweled crown on the map of India. The Kashmir valley is situated about 300 kms. from Jammu across forested ravines and steep mountain passes. The Mughal Emperor Jahangir is said to have once written about Kashmir: Agar firdaus bar rue zamin ast hamin asto, hamin asto, hamin ast! ("If there be paradise on earth, it is here, it is here, it is here!"). There are various trekking routes available across whole of Kashmir. Adventure sports in the form of water rafting and paragliding, among others, are available at various tourist locations. The Royal Springs' Golf course in the heart of Srinagar on the shores of the world famous Dal Lake is one of the most beautiful golf courses around. There is a small 18-hole golf course in Gulmarg. Spring is the time when Kashmir bursts into a riot of colors and millions of flowers carpet the landscape. Popular tourist places in the valley are Gulmarg that has a ski resort, Dal Lake that has popular house boats, Pahalgam and Amaranth Temple. Before insurgency intensified in 1989, tourism formed an important part of the Kashmiri economy. The tourism economy in the Kashmir valley was worst hit. Thousands of Hindu pilgrims visit holy shrine of Amaranth every year and this significantly benefits the state's economy. But this yatra has put Kashmir on the verge of ecological disaster . You can take Kashmir tour package and easily cover all tourist places in Kashmir within 06 to 07 days.

Will Tim Cook lead Apple into the same sales volume trap that almost killed Nokia and Motorola?
I frequently blog about how Apple is a true price champion. They have after all built a company based on quality products sold at high prices. I admire how they simply say "no" to potential customers who buy on low price alone. It is that bold decision that has awarded them superior profits. It is those superior profits that have awarded them the resources to spur legendary innovation and incredible growth.
But changes are already underway.
With the death of Steve Jobs, Tim Cook now has some really big shoes to fill. Not only does he lack Jobs' charisma, but the profit focus of the company already appears to be waning.
I am a fan of Apple and I have been following the presentations they have done introducing their new products and services for years. Jobs always had a laser focus on these product or services. They were always "amazing", "magical" and so forth. What some would say his "reality distortion field". But he never presented a market as a business opportunity.
He knew that if you build a great product and market it right, not only to build demand but also to justify a higher price, business will come. But in terms of market share, you'll get what you'll get.
While all Apple fans have been excited to see the market share of the computers and other products rise, that market share was never a focus of Jobs. His focused on profits to provide resources for innovation.
Tim Cook, on the other hand, at the introduction of the iPhone 4S this last Tuesday, one day before Jobs passed away, only really got excited when he showed a slide saying that Apple only has 5% of global cell phone sales. He felt that the 95% they do not have presents a tremendous growth opportunity.
And it is here that he will shoot himself in the foot.
The vast majority of these sales are in undeveloped, highly price sensitive markets. Think rural China, India, Africa and South America. And if he thinks Apple can build a business in those areas, he needs to abandon the profit focus that led to Apple's success. He would lead Apple into the same sales volume trap that almost killed Nokia and Motorola. While Nokia almost disappeared from the US market, they are still the global market leader in number of sold cell phones – and without profits. What would be the point of running a company with no or very little profits?
I think this is such a sad development.
We will see what will happen. In other great companies who have lost there their charismatic leader, inertia typically keep them on the "right" path for 2-4 years, then a slow decline typically happen.
With subdued regards,
Per Sjofors
